No one was ever wise by chance.
Seneca

People are not born wise. You may be born with musical ability, athletic ability, or intelligence; but no one is born wise. Wisdom does not come by chance, but by choice. It takes desire, discipline, and diligence to become wise. Take a look the advice that one of the wisest men who ever lived, Solomon, gave to us,

Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will guard you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding. Prize her, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. She will place on your head a garland of grace; she will present you with a crown of beauty. (Proverbs 4:5-9)
